Water Damage Restoration and Mitigation

Water damage to your property can be a distressing experience, but it’s essential to act quickly to minimize the damage and prevent further issues. Water Damage Restoration and Mitigation services are designed to restore your property to its pre-damaged condition and prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

What is the Difference Between Remediation and Restoration?

Water damage restoration involves the following steps:

• Extraction: Removing excess water from your property using pumps and vacuums.
• Drying: Utilizing dehumidifiers, air movers, and fans to remove moisture from the air and surfaces.
• Cleaning and Disinfection: Treating affected areas with antimicrobial solutions to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
• Repair: Restoring damaged materials or structures, such as drywall, flooring, and appliances.

Water damage mitigation, on the other hand, focuses on preventing further damage and preserving salvageable items. It typically includes:

• Emergency Water Removal: Removing standing water to prevent it from spreading.
• Tarping and Boarding: Covering damaged areas with tarps or plywood to protect them from further damage.
• Temporary Repairs: Making temporary repairs to prevent leaks or other potential hazards.

Both restoration and mitigation are crucial steps in addressing water damage, and professional assistance is highly recommended to ensure proper execution and minimize the risk of long-term damage.
